ABC always pairs with The Washington Post for their media polling [DATA pdf HERE]. It has always made sense for the deep swamp (DC Inc) to work with the intelligence PR firm of the Washington Post, as they attempt to prop up their politics. Unfortunately, the results of the latest outlook look terribly horrible for their future.
Why does George Stephanopoulos have a case of the sads… “As things stand, if the midterm elections were today, 51 percent of registered voters say they’d support the Republican candidate in their congressional district, 41 percent the Democrat. That’s the biggest lead for the Republicans in 110 ABC/Post polls to ask this question since November 1981.” The economic outcomes from JoeBama policy are again crushing Americans, as only 29% of voters view the economy as good.
70 percent of Americans say f**k Joe Biden, things are not good. The key factor is the economy. With inflation soaring, 70 percent say it’s in bad shape, up from 58 percent last spring. Joe Biden’s approval for handling the economy overall is down to 39 percent. Fifty-five percent now disapprove of Biden’s economic performance. In terms of Biden’s job performance overall, a new low of 41 percent approve, while 53 percent disapprove; similar to his rating on the economy.
The Biden economic agenda is purposefully destroying America with massive inflation that is crushing the middle class. While the majority of Americans do not know the specifics of how the JoeBama policy is doing this, everyone can see and feel the outcomes…. and it is only getting worse.
In the states of Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin – Biden’s overall job approval rating is 33 percent, compared with 43 percent elsewhere. Registered voters in these states favor Republicans over Democrats for the House by a 23-point margin, 58-35 percent, vs 7 points, 49-42 percent, in the rest of the country. Independents, often swing voters in national elections, favor GOP candidates by 18 points (50-32 percent).

Commentary
Throughout history, to avoid material harm, or to gain social acceptance from an oppressor group, many people have suppressed a stigmatizing identity and “passed.” Jews have passed for gentile; mixed-race for white; indigenous for non-indigenous. Most of these fakers sought the greatest possible anonymity; the more they blended in, the less scrutiny they attracted. Their motivation—fear of the oppressor—was grounded in reality.
Today, it is quite the opposite: Identity fraud by official oppressors passing as the officially oppressed can whisk the perpetrator from anonymity to high status involving social and material reward. Their motivation? Not fear. Envy.
The contemporary faker’s habitat is most often a university, where he or, increasingly, she (as opportunities for women in high places soar) is paid large sums of money to promote the interests of the group the faker identifies with.
U.S. race fabulist Rachel Dolezal was outed in 2015 after passing for years as black. Not only was the former teacher of Africana studies able to dupe her university, Dolezal managed to insinuate herself into leadership of a National Association for the Advancement of Colored People chapter before her house of cards collapsed.
Likewise, Canadian Carrie Bourassa, recently outed as a “pretendian” Métis, worked to advance the fortunes of indigenous people. Now on leave, both from her tenured position at the University of Saskatchewan and as scientific director of the indigenous health arm of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Bourassa had also successfully passed as indigenous for many years.
It was only when Bourassa began to gild the lily, upping her Métis genetic claims with alleged links to include the Anishinaabe and Tlingit First Nations, that a colleague of indigenous heritage looked into Bourassa’s genealogy. She alerted the CBC to her findings, prompting their own independent investigation, which resulted in exposure of Bourassa’s all-European DNA.
Bourassa’s grand deception elicited shock and criticism from indigenous and non-indigenous critics. A hail-Mary revisionist statement proffering a fig leaf for her claim (“custom adoption” rather than blood quantum) fell flat.
It is natural to assume, and most observers did, that rapid career advancement was the principal motivation behind Bourassa’s elaborate charade. But I find that explanation alone insufficient.
First, because it is a demanding job in itself for a public figure to remain “in character” all the livelong day for a projected lifetime. No ordinary person of Bourassa’s genuine intelligence and competence would consider accelerated career advancement alone a good enough reason for such an investment of time and effort, when the alternative wasn’t penury, but a perfectly satisfactory career in her field, even if achieved at a slower pace and without public acclaim.
And second, because anyone guided by an unoccluded capacity for weighing the risks against the benefits in her situation—her own family was living proof of her deception—would surely have anticipated and quailed before the strong possibility, indeed the probability, of eventual disclosure, with all the shame and humiliation such a revelation would, and has, entailed.
Only an individual driven by extreme psychological need to internalize her myth as truth would pursue such a reckless course of action. So I do not see cold calculation in Bourassa’s delusion; rather I see a highly ambitious but psychologically fragile human being whose mental vulnerability made her a vessel into which certain ideological strains in our culture were easily poured.
We find a supportive clue to this hypothesis in a reported statement Bourassa issued through an anonymous group in which she claimed that she has the right to “self-identify as an Indigenous Person, within the greater family of Indigenous Peoples in Canada.” She reportedly asserted that the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (UNDRIP) “confirms and legally supports her to Self-identify as an Indigenous Person.”
Of course, UNDRIP, which curiously does not actually define the word “indigenous,” does no such thing. The allusion likely refers to Article 33, which states: “Indigenous peoples have the right to determine their own identity or membership in accordance with their customs and traditions.” Peoples, not individuals.
It may well be that Bourassa truly believes she “is” indigenous because her mind fused the two dominant but contradictory belief systems guiding the present cultural moment: gender fluidity and critical race theory (CRT). CRT tells us that immutable, genetically embedded characteristics like race and indigenous blood quantum are the bedrock of one’s identity, while gender ideology tells us that immutable biological factors like chromosomes and gametes are meaningless beside subjective feelings of identity.
So on the one hand, Bourassa was educated to believe that as a white woman, she harboured an original sin she could never extirpate. On the other, she was educated to believe that her own feelings were the sole arbiter of her own identity.
What Bourassa did was wrong, but can we not sympathize with her? Our society’s most influential institutions—government, education, law, health services—have endorsed both these pernicious woke belief systems as worthy of entrenchment in our pedagogy and policies. Take any sensitive child with an unstable sense of self, for whatever reason. Indoctrinate that child to believe that nothing about his or her body may be taken as a clue to his or her “real” identity. At the same time, hammer home the message that skin colour and DNA—the only indications of one’s “real” identity in everything but gender—are infallible signs of either lifelong victimhood, or of ineradicable genocidal guilt.
The two messages conflict, but since one, if untethered from gender and applied to indigeneity, offers not only release from tormenting guilt but also material reward and reverence from cultural elites to boot—well, the wonder isn’t that Carrie Bourassa synthesized a personal myth from them; the wonder is there are so few copycats.
Bourassa’s flamboyancy was her downfall. At a 2019 TEDx talk, dramatically garbed in traditional aboriginal costume and with a feather in her hand, “Morning Star Bear” choked up with genetic pride. “I’m Bear Clan. I’m Anishinaabe Métis from Treaty Four Territory,” she announced to ecstatically woke applause.
Bourassa’s role immersion recalls Grey Owl (1888-1938), a.k.a. Archie Belaney, a British-born Canadian pretendian who, falsely claiming Ojibwe lineage, became known in the 1930s as “the most famous Canadian alive.” The native people Belaney lived amongst knew he was a charlatan, but his effective conservation activism earned their silence.
Today’s compulsively chatty digital panopticon has made protective silence a superannuated luxury for fraudsters. That’s a fact of life. Alas, Bourassa was indoctrinated to believe “feelings” can trump facts. Everyone now is similarly indoctrinated. But unlike “everyone,” Bourassa took her “felt” identity to an extreme but logical conclusion.

There is a book about to be published that exposes that Soros has had his fingers in Ukraine to protect Hillary and Biden while undermining Trump. As everyone knows, I had direct contacts in Ukraine which were providing the backdrop to events. I was advising on how to win the revolution by convincing the police to switch sides to the people because the president was using Russian thugs to defend him not Ukrainian. Moreover, despite the people who just spin conspiracies from nothing, the revolution was by and for the people – not the CIA. When they actually won, that is when both the EU and the US interfered and warned if they overthrew the people they were installing, there would get no support from the West. Hence, the very corrupt politicians were retained.
Soros has been using his billions made from the trading club to alter the world and to force it into his insane idea that if there is only one government, then you will eliminate war. This was adopted by Europe and the former head of France explained was the purpose behind creating the Eurozone also allegedly funded secretly by Soros. There is nobody else who has been funding the overthrow of governments to devolve into a single world government than Soros. He has bought access to the world and has set up his son to carry the torch.
Soros has been controlled the media and is in league with both Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab. Soros is the dark lord behind the curtain and it has been his money that is funding even the attempt to overthrow the United States and shred our Constitution. This new book provides extensive documentation of his influence in usurping powers through Ukraine which has propelled Biden to the White House and protested both Hillary and Hunter Biden.
I have said before when I met with the former Prime Minister of Australia trying to buy land for the people of Hong Kong and he refused to allow them to migrate because he was Labour and they would vote Conservative. It is always about power. Now Biden made a choice. He is raising the cost of medicare for seniors while proposing to have $450,000 in cash per illegal family because they were separated from the children. The Democrats only see the potential of illegal aliens voting for them while seniors mostly vote Republican fearing inflation and low-interest rates. They made their choice – illegals v Americans. I have never witnessed such insane policies by any other president regardless of their party affiliation.

One thing CTH does is to look at proposed leftist advancements through the prism of previously blocked moves. The Joe Biden nomination of avowed communist Saule Omarova to the Treasury Department Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) should be considered in a similar perspective.
There’s a couple of different issues surfacing in the Omarova nomination. Obviously, she is aligned with the view that controlling money is another way to control the behavior of businesses and people; Omarova’s previous statements {Go Deep} about intentionally bankrupting oil and gas companies is indicative of the former – and the most recent statements are aligned with the latter. WATCH:
.
Obviously, Saule Omarova is interested in the concept of an all controlling central bank that would eliminate the need for private banking interests. As she states, “There will be no more private bank deposit accounts, and all of the deposit accounts will be held directly at the fed.” The basic premise is that all employers would funnel their payrolls into a centralized federal depository, where they would be then be taxed and re-distributed, electronically, to the workers.
One central bank, owned and operated by the federal government, would replace all the purposes within the private banking system. Given her upbringing in the former Soviet Union, and considering her education at the University of Moscow, perhaps this outlook shouldn’t be surprising. However, her nomination alone should be viewed as astonishing.
♦ Big Picture – The COVID Passport concept, now currently deployed in Europe and Australia, then becomes the vector for entry into a digital identification process. At the end of that digital ID process is a centralized database, which, not coincidentally, directly aligns with the capability of the U.S. federal government to trigger what Omarova is advocating in that video – a centralized system to control all financial deposits and transactions through the digital ID previously created.
It doesn’t take a deep thinker to see how the federal government would eventually respond to having that much power over the financial accounts of Americans. Cue the visual reference:
Now, pause for a minute before you call me crazy… [although in my defense, CTH has been outlining the goals and aspirations of the specific Chicago headquartered communist ideologues for almost 15 years, while most allies on Team Freedom said we were crazy]… and consider: ‘through the prism of previously blocked moves’; because there’s a reference here most are likely to miss.
Years ago, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) was constructed by Elizabeth Warren, and her progressive/communist ideologues as an extra-constitutional government agency. The CFPB originated as a reaction to the financial crisis in 2007/2008. It was an outcome of the Dodd-Frank bill that was part of the progressive “never let a crisis go to waste.” This was entirely by design. At the time of creation,the CFPB held two primary, albeit unspoken, functions.
First, it was structured as a financial holding center for fines and assessments against any private-sector financial organizations opposed by democrats, progressives and communists.
Second, it was constructed as a distribution hub for the received funds to be transferred to political allies and groups supportive of democrat, progressive and communist causes.
The CFPB monitors almost all financial products, determines if they are racist, and then issues fines to correct the problems with financial justice. To pull off this scheme, Elizabeth Warren et al ensured it was structured to allow no congressional oversight; however, it was also structured to have no executive branch oversight – and the funding mechanism for the CFPB budget was directly through the federal reserve. The lack of any legislative or executive branch oversight made the entire scheme unconstitutional according to a court decision.
In late September, the Senate voted 50 to 48 to confirm Rohit Chopra to be the next director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, after months of uncertainty for the Biden administration (link). Three weeks later this happened:
WASHINGTON DC – The US Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) ordered Thursday that several tech giants, including Amazon, Facebook, and Google to turn over information on payments-related systems and products.
CFPB ordered six technology platforms to turn over information. These six platforms are Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Square, and Paypal. CFPB Director Rohit Chopra stated that the bureau would also study Chinese tech giants such as WeChatPay and Alipay.
Chopra stated that little was publicly known “about how Big Tech companies will exploit their payments platforms.” He wrote: “The CFPB’s inquiry will help to inform regulators and policymakers about the future of our payments system. Importantly, it will also yield insights that may help the CFPB to implement other statutory responsibilities, including any potential rulemaking under Section 1033 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.” (read more)
That ongoing background in the world of banking and finance is the context to look at the recent statements by Joe Biden’s nominee, Saule Omarova, for Treasury Department Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), {VIDEO LINK}. “There will be no more private bank deposit accounts and all of the deposit accounts will be held directly at the fed.”
Essentially, the CFPB is looking at ways the private sector is legally circumventing a need for the traditional U.S. banking system. While they are doing this, the COVID Passport becomes the entry vector for entry into a digital identification process.
There appears to be a likelihood these two lines of inquiry could merge in a centralized database with the capability of the U.S. federal government to trigger control over financial deposits and transactions through the digital ID previously created.

Many people have asked: how is the best way to stop the insanity behind the incessant vaccine narrative? The likely best approach is to start demanding the pharmaceutical companies have their liability waivers removed.
If the vaccine is safe and effective, why would the U.S. government still need to provide liability waivers from adverse vaccine outcomes?
Start pressuring legislators and elected officials to force the elimination of the waivers. Alinsky them… Make them live up to their own narrative; their own words, their own rules. If the vaccines are safe/effective, why do we need the waivers? If you want to get more people vaccinated, drop the waiver moving forward.
Eliminate those liability waivers and watch how fast every vaccine mandate is dropped, while every voice demanding vaccination goes quiet.

More people are awakening to the uncomfortable reality that the FBI is a domestic enforcement mechanism for the Fourth Branch of Government. The most recent awakening is being driven by the brazen FBI raid on Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe with the intent to leak the information to their allies at the New York Times.
Make no mistake, this is one long continuum of FBI activity that is only growing increasingly more obvious as they consider themselves unaccountable to anyone except their own ideological interests. Who is the check in the U.S. justice system to provide oversight over the FBI? The uncomfortable answer is no one.
Remember, the oft reported relationships surrounding the divisions within the Fourth Branch: ♦The CIA uses The Washington Post. ♦The State Dept uses CNN, and ♦the FBI uses The New York Times.
James O’Keefe is currently in a lawsuit against The New York Times. The FBI raids the home of O’Keefe and then passes along the confidential communication between Project Veritas and their legal team to the New York Times. With a large audience, Tim Poole is realizing what CTH readers have been discussing for a decade:
Absolute power ends with absolute corruption. The day after Christopher Steele appeared on ABC news to construct the defensive position against the information later released in an indictment by John Durham of ‘Trump-Russia’ conspiracy promoter Igor Danchenko. The very next day, the FBI raids the home of Oleg Deripaska.
Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska was the former employer of Christopher Steele {Go Deep}. The timing of the raid was transparently political. George Stephanopoulos interviewed Steele, because the Clinton operation in 2016 was at risk. Stephanopoulos’s interview was risk mitigation. Deripaska’s raid the next day was cover.
The FBI raid on O’Keefe was done for the same ideological purpose as the raid on Deripaska. This is all one long continuum. All of this is coordinated by political operatives using the DOJ and FBI as their enforcement mechanism.
October 19th, Representative Thomas Massie questions AG Merrick Garland about the FBI involvement in the January 6 DC protest. October 20th, Chris Steele appears on ABC to shape a defensive narrative around Clinton’s involvement. October 21st, the FBI raids Oleg Deripaska. Two weeks later, November 4th, the off-year elections are held, and the DC system is delivered a stunning rebuke. The next day, November 5th, the FBI raids Project Veritas and leaks the information obtained to the New York Times.
Washington DC houses the Fourth Branch of Government, an unaccountable and abusive control vehicle; rusted to the core with metastatic corruption. Unfortunately, Bill Barr was the bondo application, and John Durham appears to be the spray paint. The clear objective is to cover up the corruption from public view. The FBI is to Washington DC what the FSB represents to Moscow.
♦ For all the Tim Pooles of the world now starting to see this, let me remind you of where this is going. The DOJ and FBI now claim “anti-law enforcement violent extremists – pose the “greatestthreat” domestically this year and likely into 2022″, the narrative continues. WHY?….
Perhaps I am wrong, but the only time I can recall in modern U.S. history that aggressive and illegal federal activity was halted mid-effort, was the example of the Clive Bundy ranch in 2014. Armed citizens forced federal authorities, including the FBI, to back down. In response to their loss, former AG Eric Holder vowed to revive “a domestic terrorism task force.” Contemplate that response against the 2021 statements of the FBI saying domestic violent extremists (DVE’s) represent the greatest threat. Can you see the connective tissue?
From the worldview of the DOJ/FBI, law-abiding U.S. citizens – pushed to the point of taking up defensive arms against federal agents – are a threat. Ergo, the newest definition of “Domestic Violent Extremists, or DVEs”, to define who the FBI view as their most substantive enemy. Two years after the Bundy Ranch standoff, the FBI shot and killed LaVoy Finicum, fulfilling their promise to eliminate extremists as defined by their worldview.
The FBI was fully aware of the Boston Marathon bombers, the Tsarnaev brothers, before they executed their plot. The FBI took no action. The FBI knew about the San Bernardino terrorists, specifically Tasfeen Malik, and were monitoring her phone calls and communications before her and Syed Farook executed their attack killing 14 people and leaving 22 others seriously injured. The FBI took no action. The FBI knew Colorado grocery store shooter Ahmad Alissa before he executed his attack. The FBI took no action.
The FBI knew in advance of the Pulse Nightclub shooter (Omar Mateen) and were tipped off by the local sheriff. The FBI knew in advance of the San Bernardino Terrorists (Tashfeen Malik). The FBI knew in advance of the Boston Marathon Bombers (the Tsarnaev brothers) tipped off by Russians. The FBI knew in advance of the Parkland High School shooter (Nikolas Cruz). The FBI knew in advance of the Fort Hood shooter (Nidal Hasan), and the FBI knew in advance of Colorado grocery store shooter Ahmad al-Aliwi Alissa. The FBI took no action.
Consider the case of the first recorded ISIS attack on U.S. soil in Garland, Texas in 2015. The FBI not only knew the shooters (Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi) in advance, the FBI took the shooters to the venue and were standing only a few yards away when Simpson and Soofi opened fire. Yes, you read that correctly – the FBI took the terrorists to the event and then watched it unfold. “An FBI trainer suggested in an interview with “60 Minutes” that, had the attack been bigger, the agency’s numerous ties to the shooter would have led to a congressional investigation.”
Remember, shortly before the 2018 mid-term election, when Ceasar Syoc – a man living in his van – was caught sending “energetic material that can become combustible when subjected to heat or friction”, or what FBI Director Christopher Wray called “not hoax devices“? Remember how sketchy everything about that was, including the child-like perpetrator telling a judge later than he was trying to walk back his guilty plea because he was tricked into signing a confession for a crime he did not create.
Or more recently, the goofball plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer that involved 18 suspects, twelve of them actually working for the FBI as the plot was hatched? And we cannot forget the January 6th. DC protest turned insurrection effort, which is clearly looking like an FBI inspired and coordinated effort.
Have we forgotten the Atlanta “Olympic Park Bombing”, and the FBI intentionally setting up transparently innocent, Richard Jewel?
Then, there’s the entirety of the FBI conduct in “Spygate”, the demonstrably evident FBI operation to conduct political surveillance against Donald Trump using their investigative authorities; and the downstream consequences of a massive institutional effort to cover up one of the biggest justice department scandals in the history of our nation. The original effort against Donald Trump used massive resources from the DOJ and FBI. Heck, the coverup operation using the Mueller/Weissmann special counsel used more than 50 investigative FBI agents alone.
And of course, the FBI still had 13 extra agents available to rush to a NASCAR racetrack to investigate a garage door pull-down rope that might have been perceived as a noose; but the serial rape of hundreds of teenage girls, eh, not-so-much effort – even when they are standing in front of the FBI begging for help.
[At this point, I am increasingly convinced, by evidence, the FBI themselves are the perpetrators involved in sex trafficking, human smuggling and abduction as part of their operational mission.]
It is important to realize exactly what happened in the case of the Olympic gymnasts and the rape of hundreds of teenage girls. When the victims and parents told the FBI about what Larry Nassar was doing, the FBI did not bungle the investigation, the FBI did not investigate.
But worse…. after the parents kept coming back to the FBI to ask what was going on; and report that other parents were now reporting that new rapes and assaults were ongoing; the FBI told those parents an investigation was ongoing. Except it wasn’t. The FBI was lying.
As the FBI was telling the victims they were investigating Larry Nassar, the FBI was doing no such thing. The FBI was lying to the victims and their families. The FBI was not taking any action whatsoever to address the multitude of claims against Nassar.
After the FBI was caught lying about their conduct, they then lied to the internal oversight, the OIG, about everything surrounding their conduct. The FBI didn’t make a mistake, or drop the proverbial ball, they intentionally and specifically maintained the sexual exploitation of teenage girls by doing absolutely nothing with the complaints they received. This is not misconduct, this is purposeful.
Then, as if to apply salt to the open wound of severe FBI politicization….what did the FBI do with the Hunter Biden laptop?
What the Federal Security Service (FSB) is to the internal security of the Russian state; so too is the FBI in performing the same function for the U.S. federal government.
The FBI is a U.S. version of the Russian “State Police”; and the FBI is deployed -almost exclusively- to attack domestic enemies of those who control government; while they protect the interests of the U.S. Fourth Branch of Government. That is the clear and accurate domestic prism to contextualize their perceived mission: “domestic violent extremists pose the greatest threat” to their objective.
Put another way, “We The People”, who fight against government abuse and usurpation, are the FBI’s actual and literal enemy.
Let me be very clear with another brutally obvious example. Antifa could not exist as an organization; capable to organize and carry out violent attacks against their targets; without the full support of the FBI. If the FBI wanted to arrest members of Antifa, who are actually conducting violence, they could do it easily – with little effort.
It is the absence of any action by the FBI toward Antifa, that tells us the FBI is enabling that violent extremist behavior to continue. Once you accept that transparent point of truth; then, you realize the FBI definition of domestic violent extremism is something else entirely.
The FBI is not a law enforcement or investigative division of the U.S. Department of Justice. The FBI is a political weapon of a larger institution that is now focused almost entirely toward supporting a radical communist agenda to destroy civil society in the United States.
Anyone who continues to push the fraudulent “honorable FBI rank and file talking point”, is, at this point in history, willfully and purposefully operating to deceive the American people on behalf of government interests who are intent on destroying us. It is not a difference of opinion any longer. It is a matter of just accepting what is staring us directly in the face….
